i'm harris faulkner. this is "the fox report." the threat to americans not just overseas. if federal investigators revealing details about a plot with a potential to bring widespread devastation. a would-be terrorist hoping to attack popular sites across one major u.s. city. and troops in afghanistan. defenseless against a murderer in disguise. assassins. dressed as allies. it is happening again. nato troops gunned down by a terrorist wearing an afghan police uniform are. the latest green on blue attack follows that deadly ambush on

our premier u.s. marine base. with new word now directly from the taliban their target is one of the most famous people in uniform. >> also, our military and the fbi now on the hunt in libya for the killers of those four americans who died in our consultate. tonight, al-qaeda praising the death of u.s. ambassador are chris stevens and in citing others to go after troops. we witness the latest efforts to protect americans under threat. >> we begin with a fox you bent. urgent. brand new details on the surprise attack in afghanistan that killed two u.s. marines yesterday. here is what is key. and you will notice the trend here. we are now learning about 15 taliban insurgents stormed that base wearing u.s. army uniforms. at the post our marines share

with the british forces. the international security assistance forces telling us the ambush was well equipped, well trained, well rehearsed. armed with automatic rifles and rocket propelled grenade launchers and suicide vests. attackers access the base airfield by breaching one point in the perimeter fence. organized into three teams now we know again they were dressed in our u.s. army uniforms. the insurgents targeting aircraft, hangars and other buildings. at least six jets completely destroyed. two others significantly damaged. coalition troops eventually killed 14 of the insurgents and took another who was wounded into custody. in addition to two marines killed, nine others injured in the attack. none of those injuries we are told is life threatening. the taliban also saying one objective of the attack was to kidnap prince harry. he had just arrived at the base last week for a four month long

deployment. he was not harmed in the ambush. and all of this with this happening today. nato confirming a man dressed as an afghan police officer shot and killed two nato soldiers. to word on if they were american. that so-called green on blue insider attack is one of many that is becoming more common there in recent months. so much so, our fighters have had to stop training their afghan counterparts. u.s. marines and the fbi now are on the move to libya to hunt down the killers who took out our consultate ambassador at our consultate and murdered three other americans. it happened this week as you know, exactly 11 years to the day of the 9/11 terror attacks and the threat remains for americans living overseas in the wake of a rash of antiamerican protests across the muslim world. the scope of the recent violence. dangerous sometimes deadly protests in the countries that you see here on the screen and this map actually doesn't even fully show the extent of what is going on. reporters on scene overseas

monitoring the latest developments. greg, as you were getting there the u.s. state department was issuing a warning for americans and you can tell us more about that now. family members of embassy employers here and nonessential personnel should leave. that americans here should show extreme caution. we spoke to one official and that official was quite cautious as that person talked to us. this clearly a response to yesterday's violence here. thousands of protesters outside of the u.s. embassy and some scaling the walls. once they got inside, some setting fires. some looting. some smashing windows. no embassy staffers were h hurt but tour protesters were killed and 50 were injured and that

prompted today a big show of force from the tunisian military. there were no incidents today. a top government official apologized, still tunisia is relatively western, the government is moderately islamic. this place is the birthplace of the arab spring. like other countries in the region, there are ultraconservative islamists operating here and they were a part of the protests that we saw yesterday. >> greg, of course tunisia borders libya the place where our consultate was hit earlier this week. u.s. marines, we now know the fbi has joined the effort and they are heading to that country and to your consultate and other areas in the country where there are consult ates. what is the latest? >> just down the coast in libya, a very complex terror manhunt is just beginning to

try to find those responsible for the killing of ambassador chris stevens and three other u.s. diplomats on tuesday at that consultate in benghazi. we have been speaking to the fbi and their investigation is already underway. a team of fbi agents should have landed in libya as early as today. they, backed up by a marine rapid response team already on the ground inside libya. there is one u.s. navy destroyer and one more coming off the coast of libya. and overhead, surveillance drones tracking events and the eastern side of the country. in fact, yesterday, the report is that islamist militants fired at those surveillance drones and actually shut down the airport on the eastern side of the country for a couple of hours. it just shows again how complex the terror manhunt will be and how dangerous it can be. security is not good.

the terrain is very difficult. the government says it wants to help. there are new reports just in the past couple hours of a further roundup of suspects who might have been at the scene of the consultate but often the government in libya is at the mercy of the militants that could be responsible for the tragic event. harris? >> boy, have we seen that play out. who truer words spoken. greg palkot, thank you very much. with our consultate hit and rioters climbing up the walls and over the grounds, al-qaeda in the arabian peninsula says it wants to see more of it. in a statement posted online the terror group call the killing of our ambassador to libya chris stevens "the best example for attacking u.s. interests" around adding the ultimate goal goal is to been aish u.s. embassies in islamic countrys.

>> it is clearly trying to capitalize on the protests by encouraging more attacks and urging followers to quote, set the fires blazing. fortunately that didn't happen in the middle east today but we have seen some new violence cropping up across europe for many. in paris there was a demonstration outside the u.s. embassy that started with a few dozen demonstrators and then grew to a crowd of muslims more than 250 strong. they were denouncing the film produced in the u.s. that. police said the group had no permit and no right to be in the streets and they detained more are than 100 of them. four officers injured in the dem months of private sector frakes. in belgium another flash mob type protest sparked by text messages drew an angry crowd with chants of allah akbar, obama g go to hell, hollywood o to hell.

the police used pitcher spray against the crowd. police detained more than 120 protet evers. they do plan to release them after checking identification. clearly tensions rising across europe as well as the middle east and northern africa. >> and even in australia some things that we have been >> yeah.ng down there, australia has a large muslim population and in sydney there was a group of hundreds of muslim demonstrators who gathered outside the u.s. consultate. they were on the steps of the building and throwing shoes at the building and then refused to move when the police moved in. so that is when things got heated there. there was one officer hit in the head with a bottle. numerous protesters were injured and arrested by police who were using their clubs and pepper spray and even police dogs. in sydney, australia. it was an ugly clash. it has been welled for now but leading many to wonder what is next, where is next and how bad is this thing going to get?

>> rick, thank you very much. right now we are learning more about a situation that certainly tells us the danger for americans lurks right here at home. fbi agents arresting an 18-year-old man in chicago in a sting operation to stop him from doing great harm. they say he picked -- they picked him up after some internet postings he made. first his name. abdel. he is a u.s. citizen from hillside, a chicago suburb. authorities arresting him friday night in their undercover sting in which an agent pretended to be a terrorist providing him with a phoney car bomb. they watched him press the trigger according to prosecutors. online he posted comments about killing americans in the name of jihad. the undercover agents saying in an affidavit the suspect told him he wanted to carry out an attack that would kill a large number of people. the legal document quoting him saying i wanted something that is massive. i wanted something that is going make it in the news.

prosecutors say he mentioned 29 possible targets including shopping malls, bars, tourist attractions in chicago. tonight he is charged with attempting to use a weapons of mass destruction and attempting to damage and destroy a building with an explosive. >> it is a place where the antiamerican protests erupted. coming up, we are going to go live to egypt where things look a lot different than they have the past few nights. also here at home, economy and jobs. the biggest issues on voters' minds. republican vice presidential nominee paul ryan on the campaign trail in a key battleground state today. what he says the feds latest action really says about the jobs picture in this country. stay close.

in egypt after days of violent protests some sense of control finally being restored by egyptian forces. cairo is where the most recent outbreak of violence began. it was tuesday when a mob stormed our u.s. embassy. earlier, riot police moving in it to keep the protesters at bay and now it appears the efforts may be succeeding. leland live in tahrir square in cairo. what is it like in cairo right now? >> a tense calm as we have the morning call to prayer at 4:15 a.m. hundreds if not thousands of riot police on the streets for the past 24 hours waiting to stop any protesters who make their way back out to cause problems here in cairo. 24 hours ago it was a very different scene here as there was a pitched battle going on

between these protesters who were throwing molotov cocktails and rocks at riot police. the police were responding with so much cs tear gas that the smell is on the street still here tonight. also rubber bullets. we had one protest ever killed when was hit with bird shot coming out of a shotgun shell. the protesters masked after friday's prayers. thousands, many carrying big posters of osama bin laden and chanting obama, obama, we are all osamas and then they have the infamous flag, the black flag raised over the u.s. embassy on tuesday. the al-qaeda in the arabian peninsula communique instructing people to rise up again has not quite happened here but remember it did talk about more attacks and we have learned from local media and also a former intelligence officer there was a credible threat by an al-qaeda syndicate jihadi group based in the peninsula against the u.s.

embassy here in cairo. from where i am standing the live shot position the u.s. embassy only 200 or 300-yards down the road and about 100-yards before the embassy is a large concrete construction project in the middle of the street 18 feet high of blocks to block any one or anything even something like a truck from getting anywhere down the street near the u.s. embassy. clearly here in cairo the level of security and level of tension has raced a lot, harris. >> with the couple of minutes that i have with you. a couple of things to follow. i could hear sounds. i don't know if there is activity. i heard sounds and i'm sure the audience heard it, too. i'm he sure they would like to hear what is going on. they weren't burning american flags 18 months ago. >> not at all. it as complete change here. the sound you are hearing behind me is the mosque which is the main mosque calling to prayer here every time morning,

noon, afternoon here in cairo. it is also the same mosque that has been the center of all of these protests. and that is sort of the real point to make here and that is the revolution 18 months ago was all about freedom. you said i'm from america and they say we love america, this is so wonderful. we love freedom and democracy and now they are chanting to death to america. and the protesters who are out here are very, very different people than they were 18 months ago. before it was a younger largely secular, a little bit more educated liberal western friendly crowd and now a much more hard line islamist crowd, much poorer. poverty a rampant and literacy rampant here in cairo. they are not watching this stuff on you tube. simply hearing what this he hear in the mosques and then heading out to protest. you get a sense the fuse died out a little bit before it got to the dynamite but that could be relit. >> and not i'm sure what they had in mind when they waged a revolution 18 months ago. leland, thank you very much.

before september 10th and he called upon the people of libya to avenge the blood of the martyred. and you have to be a trained intelligence operator and sold yir to understand the significance of that. and i think the word was out the day before. and often times, al-qaida gives morning. and something like that should have been taken seriously in my judgment . the al-qaida leader giving the message out. let's talk specifically about what the fast teams are doing.

your special teams and specialops. they get there. and they reported that they are buttoning up and geth nonessential folks out to limit the explosure for further damage and they are going to secure the real estate, that's what the marines are trained and good at doing. i want to paint a picture for people on how it dangerous it is for you. >> it is chaotic:

that plays well here. i have to be say that libya is a proamerican country in general for a long time. the people may have been a major base for a long, long time. the politics are different. radical like the muslim brotherhood and are contending with each other for control of the countries. and one of the time honored hot buttons is americans. we are targeted and vilified and it is it an internal power
